Three-level organization

At Les Belles Combines, as you know, we like to promote children's autonomy , and that is why we suggest that you organize your garage or shed using a storage system in three levels :

Level 1 : products and items that are safe and suitable for the little ones aged approximately five years and under (sand toys, wooden or plastic tools, balls, etc.)

Level 2 : products and items safe and suitable for children aged approximately six years and over

Level 3 : products and items safe and suitable for children aged approximately nine years and over

The organization in sections

In order to quickly see where the items you need are located, consider organizing your garage or shed into different sections:

Gardening : gardening tools, fertilizers, garden soil, etc.

Sports and leisure items : ball basket, baseball and hockey sticks, tennis and badminton rackets, chalk, sand toys, bicycle helmets (installed on hooks), etc.

Cleaning products and tools : hammer, saw, windshield washer, etc.

Products and items prohibited for children : large tools and toxic/hazardous products

Finally, of course, ask each member of the family to always put the objects and products back where they took them , so that it is easy to find them quickly and to keep the places clean and well organized!
